FEATURE:
Apple
to Highlight Self-Published Books
By
LESLIE KAUFMAN
Yet
another sign that self-publishing is making inroads into the traditional
houses: On Tuesday Apple will include a feature that organizes a group of
popular self-published e-books together and then gives them prominent display
on iBookstore.
The
feature will appear under a banner titled “Breakout Books” and remain on the
iBookstore’s main page for at least two weeks. This kind of display, known as
“front-of –the store” attention, is greatly coveted by publishers because it
helps books get discovered, driving sales. After two weeks, “Breakout Books”
will remain a permanent feature on the site, though not always with such
high-profile display.Apple, which has long carried self-published e-books and displayed the most popular among them, has incentive to give self-published authors a boost, partly because of price.
Self-published authors often sell their books for $2.99 or less, which is significantly less than books sold through traditional publishers. The savings are popular among some readers.
“Apple
is helping to shape a brighter, more democratized future for book publishing,”
said Mark Coker, the founder of Smashwords, a leading distributor of digital
books.
Mr.
Coker said that many of the 70 featured titles were Smashwords titles. He said
the books were nominated to Apple’s editorial team, which has final say on the
selections, based on criteria including sales performance and reader reviews.

Allbooks Reviews INTERVIEW:
Please state your name and location. (city and State or Province, Country)
Tammy Vallieres MacRae – Woodstock,
Ontario, Canada
Susan Lucente-Rizzo – Brantford, Ontario,
Canada
Balboa Press - 2012
Tell us about yourself:
Susan is passionate about creating a
balanced learning environment where all children are taught to their individual
strengths. Where a child’s full
potential is recognized, nurtured and prized, and their skills are highlighted
positively so as to inspire greatness and self-worth in themselves, their
peers, and their community.
When was the book released?
Balboa Press – A division of Hayhouse
International
Give us an overview of your book.
Jeffrey finds his way is a story and
colouring book about an angel who looks down from heaven’s gates and sees
children in crisis. Jeffrey convinces
God that he can help “schools on earth” become more like the “schools in
heaven,” where all children shine brightly and love learning regardless of
their differences. This little,
inspirational story was created to help students identify their worth within
the classroom and highlight each student’s value. It has become a useful teaching tool to
support all learning styles and teach compassion towards diversity.
What inspired you to write this book?
The inspiration came from our personal,
life journeys…through our struggles and achievements, the peaks and valley’s
and the experiences derived from our roles as teacher and parent; a lifetime of
parallel experiences that fueled our inner growth and inspired this “Joint
Passion” to make a difference.
How is your book different from other
books in this genre?
Many of us have forgotten that we are
destined for greatness. Jeffrey finds
his way allows everyone, not only children, the opportunity to rediscover their
existence…to “find their way” and to live the life they were always intended to
live. Our accompanying website and
program aims to bring Teachers, Parents, Students, Academics and Practitioners
(worldwide) together to discuss, share and explore the importance of WHO they
are and WHERE they come from.
When we clearly understand that, we can
openly explore WHAT we were born to be and its significance to our overall
health, happiness and well-being.
Spirituality is the KEY that unlocks the pain and suffering that
currently plagues our society in relation to social, economic, environmental
and global issues.
We have forgotten where we come from and
that we are spiritual beings. When we deny the source that fuels our existence,
we cut off the most important “life support” that aids us in our triumphant
growth and development.
Where can people buy your book?
Jeffrey finds his way is available on the
Balboa Press website, at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
Are you working on another book? If so
when do you expect it to be published?
We are currently working on a
“junior-level” book that supports the beliefs and principles of the first book;
Jeffrey finds his way. This book is
entitled,
The COMPASSionate Crew finds their way,
too. It is a story of 4 animals, Beaver,
Owl, Dolphin and Fox. Each blessed with
different traits, skills and personalities who embark on separate yet parallel
journeys on earth where their “task” is to KNOW themselves so that they can
“find their way”.
If you self published, what advice can you
give to fellow writers?
Perseverance is KEY, coupled with a strong
internal conviction and the focused belief that what you have written has value
and will benefit those who will read it.
Can you share one of your marketing
successes with us?
Networking is a MUST to success. For us, the opportunity to present our wares
at the “Oxford Creates 2012” trade and gift show in Woodstock, Ontario led to
various introductions that have subsequently allowed us to make great strides
in sharing our “Jeffrey message” with the world. It is also where we met Shirley A. Roe,
Managing Editor and Founder of Allbooks Review, which in turn lead to our joining
forces. Since then we’ve received a
beautifully and highly recommended book review by Emily Jane Hills Orford, as
well as secured a 12-month Advertising Agreement in the hopes of spreading our
message worldwide.
How did you find Allbooks Reviews and what
are you hoping for in your relationship with us?
We found Allbooks Review while we were
promoting our program at “Oxford Creates 2012”.
Was the low cost a surprise? What other
things would you like Allbooks Reviews to offer writers?
The low cost was both intriguing and in
the end won us over. Since then we’ve
come to realize that the “value received” far outweighed the monetary fees
incurred to showcase our book, Jeffrey finds his way.
Thank you for this interview and best of
luck with your book.
